Secularism, for many of us, is not a terra incognita, and yet it is certainly an improperly defined and an unexplained concept. For more than 150 years the terms intellectuals, politicians and theologians have used “secular” and “secularism” rather in an ambiguous way. There is, therefore, a need for the clarification of the use of these terms. Time has come for us to rethink our whole approach to the question of secularism.
